  4. Some clarification of the title:
    > WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) – An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a “perp walk” of the bureau’s former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said on Friday.

  6. Honor is completely vacant in this administration. They actively purge anyone who exhibits any honor whatsoever.

  7. If we come out the other side of this, people who suffer after standing up to these fucking fascists will deserve recognition and restitution.

  8. Nice to see people with integrity doing the difficult but right thing.

  10. Im so curious what happens at the end of this administration. This is fucked and keeps getting more and more fucked

  12. It’s so refreshing to see people showing their backbone. A job is just a fucking job.

  13. Trump has his dirty little fingers into everything. The man is all looped up on stimulants or he’s mentally unstable.

  14. What did I tell you, he wants the humiliation, he knows the charge is flimsy. It’s all theater with him. America is his Apprentice boardroom

  15. He’s trying to make examples of people who dared to defy him.

    Fascism has arrived in America and the people who were chanting about the Constitution a year ago are now gleefully wiping their asses with it.

    There was nothing wrong. Our economy was doing well, things were really looking up after Covid, there were all kinds of positive things happening…

    And then, Trump 2.0, the destruction of America, became a reality.

  16. Bravo to that agent. Gonna take some heroes to reverse this course.

  17. Does he or she have a GoFundme? We need to support and remember these people.

  18. A dishonorable dismissal from this administration is HONORABLE!

  20. Patel is doing his job. He is a political hack running the FBI. He is not there ti protect people and the country. He is there as a political appointee to procecute Trumps enemies.

  21. It’s a damn shame that Trump wasn’t in charge of Trump’s arrest and booking. He would have been frog marched in wearing leg shackles and his mugshot would have been without makeup and his hair all messed up. Instead he got to show up at his leisure and take a mugshot he likes so much he turned it into merch.

  23. This is what courage to uphold principles looks like. Thank you to this unnamed hero.

  24. 250-300yrs for a democracy. Yup, that’s about right. It’s time to shake the snow globe. Buckle up. Thanks, non voters.

  25. Agent has more class and honor in his fingernail than the entire Trump administration.

  26. What blows my mind is how anybody supports this at this point. I try to check out the conservative sub to see if they have an inkling of regret and they all support everything and the things they don’t agree with like Epstein files not being released, etc. they make excuses like “the files are compromised now anyways so I won’t believe them if they do come out.” It’s like what? This is a huge part of what Trump campaigned on talking about draining the swamp and now they don’t care or trust them anymore when the people who won’t release them are republicans… they can’t fathom that they are the bad guys so they continue on moving the goalposts for whatever doesn’t fit their narrative. It is scary how fooled they are and how far they will go to maintain they are right while they also suffer from this administrations decisions.

    I saw a post the other day on conservative about one conservative saying how it isn’t fair that Trump is withholding funding for blue states because there are republicans in these states who are suffering too and the rest of the sub was like “tough shit man. Too many people in these blue states deserve it and need to feel the consequences.” They let their own suffer to keep up the lies. They don’t even care about each other. I have never seen anything like it.

  29. FBI and DOJ honorable people in full revolt. All you will have left are the immoral and incompetent and that will make running the place impossible. Because the political hacks never did know anything.

  31. It’s time to riot… sorry but that’s where we’re at here folks.

  34. Soon there will be an entire government’s worth of fired competent people to step in when this shitshow implodes.

  36. Corrupt af. That’s not how a professional entity operates.

  37. Trump is absolutely not going to give up power…it is so obvious. He already tried to hold on to power illegally on Jan 6th and the country rewarded him by electing him again. All this gerrymandering, military in cities, withholding funds to blue states (this is all in the last week)…they are changing the very fabric of rule. They know that if there are free and fair elections again and democrats win, all the stuff they did will be precedent and the democrats can do the same to them.

    Civil war is coming, arm and defend yourselves.

  38. He got Trump elected when he did the public announcement of Hillary Clinton just before the election.

  39. Honestly – what do we, as the people, do? It feels we have no leadership. Where are the democrats? Where is the messaging?

    The problem seems MAGA has leadership and everyone else does not
